That error is part of the code that puts two WoW icons together (sideBySideIcon) which isn't supposed to fail unless there are download issues. Can you try deleting your entire Cache folder again and restarting Catus?

The problem is probably related to the statement: "Changed user.dir: G:\Catus-Latest"Catus is detecting that the current working directory is not the Catus directory and attempting to change it. Which is strange since you're navigating directly to the Catus directory and invoking "java -jar Catus.jar". I'll look around for solutions to this. Are you using cmd.exe to execute the commands above?

raffy wrote:@aggixx, when I uncheck a slot, it blocks all modifications of that item. Oh I see, are you using Minimize Cost? That seems to mistakingly not respect the check state when it shifts the gems around. Or are you doing something else?

I don't know. I was told it wasn't working but wasn't able to replicate. That might be it.

Edit: Turned out to be a misunderstanding. Glad you found an issue out of it, though!

@raffy: It's working now. It was the Comodo Internet Security issue. I turned it off and Caktus (sorry, couldn't have resisted that ) was still not working (that misled me). But when I added the Catus.jar path to the trusted path of Comodo, it was working again.

@Untamable, thanks for the report. I added an additional [x] Pure Hit gem option to Catus. I wasn't able to make this gem work with the fast reforging technique, so when this option is enabled, the reforge is tad slower. Additionally, since there are so many reforging solutions, Catus isn't able to find your exact reforge/gems/enchants, so if you use Catus to do a future reforge, you might need to make some tedious gem changes. Catus is now able to find both your 12124/12122/12122 reforge, an equally good 12124/12123/12121, and many others. I would of spent more time fixing this (so it was integrated), but since reforging is gone in WoD, the current solution will have to do.

This update also fixes the "Minimized Cost" + Immutable slot issue, adds some buttons to the Override Set Bonus panel, fixes the Inert stats in Stat Weights, and includes some other fixes.

Edit: Warning: I (mistakenly) removed the code that invalided the Heirloom items when they were changed in 5.4.8. If you haven't launched Catus in a while, these items might be screwy. Inside the Catus Cache (there is a button to access the Cache directory under "Internal Features") delete the "raffy.antistupid.com" directory and restart Catus.

*****Moved to appropriate thread******So I'm not 100% sure if I am siming my feral druid right. I am trying to compare my current build/gem of pure agility basically to a secondary stat build since I just got rune on heroic. I opened catus loaded my character Aerothane on Aerie Peak and clicked reforge, rune, mastery overflow 2, change gems, keep colors, gem color yellow, and then quick compare. It then simmed a .5% increase, did I do what I was trying correct?

The (Quick Compare) button in the Rune reforger tab will compare your current gear to your gear reforged as if you clicked Reforge -- it's like a "What do these settings do?" button. So yes, if you just setup the reforger (but didn't apply the reforge), clicking Quick Compare will give you the desired result.

Additionally, you can use one of the Benchmark: Special: "Rune: Color vs Color" options found in under "Simulator: Quick Compare." However, this method isn't as transparent (since it doesn't directly reveal either reforge) but it gives you immediate feedback.

Both of these options use you current Catus configuration, so make sure your Buffs and stuff are setup and the desired encounter is selected.

Lastly, I would be careful about setting your Mastery Overflow to 2 and [x] Keep Colors. This amount of Mastery Overflow requires that your 1:1:1 is pretty tight (2 overflow => within 7 secondaries of x+1:x:x). If no solutions can be found, it will error (or choose a wasteful Hit/Exp solution that fits the criteria.) The only purpose of a small Mastery Overflow is speed. [x] Keep Colors tries to respect your existing gem colors and will produce undesired results if not used intentionally (see tooltip.) I added a (Reset to Defaults) button at the corner of the reforger panel. These settings (except for the color choice) should be sufficient for almost all gear.

*****Moving to correct thread*****I am about to go nuts because every time I change gear from the pulldown menu (trying to see how 2 553 teir up'd to 569 work compared to Heroic non hood and shoulders from naz heroic upgraded 8 lvls ... well every time I change the drop down menu from whats in the armory when I logged out to what I have in my bags /reforge with rune. I get two totally different numbers when comparing to the armory it changes EVERY TIME.. the armory is the armory I thought I cant get catus to give me a Definite answer italways comes out 2 to 3k different and its driving me nuts . I also don't know what use currnet /config/ and recommended is on the Dps sim box to calculate either... please tell me why its changing its outcome every time I am obviously doing something wrong

Use Current = use current configuration settings for both simulationsUse Recommended = use noob mode settings regardless of settings in either configurationUse Configuration = use specified settings for each simulation (allows you to vary things like buffs, encounter type/duration, ...)

Example: If you select "Use Configuration" BOTH configurations need to be setup. If one has a 3-minute Patchwerk duration and no buffs and the other is using a 8-target Cleave for 30-minutes with raid buffs, these settings will be reflected in the result. "Use Current" will use whichever setting is currently visible to you for both simulations.

If you're having difficulty syncing Catus to your armory, you can hold down [shift+alt] while clicking (Import). (Note: [shift] = compare, [alt] = force refresh, see: Import button tooltip.) First, it will import your Druid and compare it to your current profile, if they are the same, it will tell you. If they are different, it will Clone your configuration, replace your gear with your latest armory gear, and give you a report concerning the differences.

For shits, I released Catus 42 with WoD set bonuses available through (Override Set Bonuses.) This is primarily to gauge the relative power of these bonuses. You should switch to Shred to test the Shred-related bonuses as I do not trigger them with Mangle (but maybe I should because of WoD Shred energy cost.) Note: Catus is still a MoP simulator.

I am pretty sure the 10% damage to Shred is the 2p bonus, and the FB is the placeholder Celestalon mentioned in his tweet. Every first tier 2p bonus has been a buff to our direct damage combo point generators.
